3 out of 5 stars We bought this new   September 23, 2009

We bought this camcorder for our recent trip to Cancun. I have to say it isn't very user friendly. You cannot take still shots unless you have the mini sd card, which I still have been unable to find but the video works nicely using small dvds. Overall it may not be the best for people that find electronics a little complicated but if you have the time to sit and read the book from front to back it should come easy to you.

I own this camera/camcorder, and the first thing you notice is that it is absolutely gorgeous. It's color is two-toned and it is a well-made quality product from Canon. It's very small in size and takes the place of both a camera and camcorder, which makes it convenient to travel with.

It uses mini DVD's for videoing and a mini SD card for photos. Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use and easy to switch back and forth between camera and camcorder.

My videos and photos come out crisp, clear and in true-life colors. I can very easily transfer my videos and photos to regular DVD's using my Sony DVD recorder or a computer DVDRW drive.

My only complaint and the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, is the battery's charge is not long enough which requires you to always keep a spare on hand. You can charge the battery in the device, but I bought a spare charger to charge without using the camera.

I have never had a problem with this camera/camcorder.

When I bought the unit, I loved it. Then after recording many items onto a disk, the disk became unreadable. Oh, my first use of memorex media. I switched back to old reliable TDK. Nope. It wrote a whole disk of recordings, but cannot reliably read them, nor can I transfer them to a computer or play the disk on a DVD player. It stoped working, was expensive, is not that old, and I don't know what to do.

Pros:
1.Camcorder is very easy to operate.
2.Has most of the option to capture video/photo - Auto, pre-progrmmed.
3.Has manual control to explore more.
4.Video quality is excellent and can be viewed in 21" Screen with clear picture.
Cons:
1. Battery life is less if you use display and zoom
2. The Roxio software gives problem while downloading. So better go for some other software. Even i am searching for the suitable software.
3.As the picture is only a 2MP, it is not must suitable for photos. but reasonable quality can be achieved with 2MP.
